Zhu Chengxiu rested at home for half a month, said goodbye to his elders and left home, and cried a lot when he left. The old lady of the Zhu family saw him shed tears and scolded him bitterly, and told him to go to the 'revolutionary army' where to work hard, which is better than nesting in Tianjin. When he returned home, he only brought back a wooden box, but when he left, there were hundreds of clansmen and domestic servants.

The old lady of the Zhu family prepared three serious 400 warships for Zhu Chengxiu, all of which were directly allocated by the Tianjin Navy fleet. Zhu Chengxiu also wondered why the imperial court didn't fight Lushun when there were warships? The old lady of the Zhu family scolded on the spot: "This ship is our own family, and the people on board are also our own family." There is no benefit in winning, and if you lose, you will lose all your money, and whoever fights will be stupid! ”

I heard that the price of cloth in Jinzhou was high, and the three warships were loaded with a lot of goods. There was a warship carrying a lot of craftsmen who were going to Jinzhou to find work, and there was even a female apprentice of the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the capital. Zhu Chengxiu was very curious about the beautiful man wearing a black veil, and even more strange about the craftsman she was going to take to Jinzhou.

However, the woman did not want to talk to outsiders, so she hid in the cabin after getting on the boat. Zhu Chengxiu was also inconvenient to inquire, so he could only command the warship to the east and arrive in Lushun two days later. As soon as these three warships left Tianjin, the flags were changed, and the 'revolutionary army' drew up quite detailed divisional and hierarchical charts in order to facilitate command. The banner led by the dignified sailor is majestic.

When entering the Port of Arthur, Zhu Chengxiu also let go of all his concerns. He looked at the ever-changing port in the midst of the busyness, and his heart was full of pride. Before leaving home, the old lady of the Zhu family once held a newspaper issued by the 'Revolutionary Army' and kept chattering. Zhu Chengxiu probed and read it, it was a poem published in the newspaper to persuade people to join the army and make meritorious contributions.

"The boy is determined to go out of the countryside, and he will not break Loulan's vow and not return it; Why bury bones, there are green mountains everywhere in life. ”

The title of the poem is "Changing Poems for Men in the World", but no one knows its original source. The author is also anonymous, but it is rumored within the 'revolutionary army' that the young marshal himself wrote it. The newspapers of the 'Revolutionary Army' carried all kinds of advertisements and news, and they were widely circulated in the market. The old lady of the Zhu family got this newspaper, and after reading the poem, she sighed and specially transferred this newspaper to Zhu Chengxiu.

When I came home, I didn't feel anything, I even felt ridiculous. But when I leave home and read it again, my mood is completely different. Zhu Chengxiu once again set foot on the territory of the 'revolutionary army', and he really gave birth to some lofty ambitions to make meritorious contributions and cleanse the world--I already know what the Ming Dynasty was like. But what this revolutionary dynasty looks like is waiting for my generation to open up.

Just when Zhu Chengxiu, who was in high spirits, went ashore, on a small cargo boat not far from him, there was a thin man who was hiding but looked at his back with a complicated and inexplicable expression and the flag of the commander of the 'revolutionary army' sailors fluttering on the warship.

Wu Bao'er, the first water vessel commander recruited by Zhou Qingfeng, has been thinking about how to escape after joining the gang. In the battle of Wanghai Fort, he finally found an opportunity to jump into the sea and escape, and returned to Dengzhou all the way. He felt that he had escaped from the cage and gained freedom, but now when he looked at the commander flag of the 'revolutionary army' sailors, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"This flag was supposed to be mine." Wu Bao'er's dark and thin body sat on the side of the boat, and it was impossible to say that she did not regret it in her heart. A person like him who was born as a bandit never knew the rules, but in his heart, he blamed Zhou Qingfeng for not treating him well enough, so he let him abandon his job.

"Hey...... talk about you. After unloading and unloading, go quickly, don't you see that there is still a ship to dock behind you? The dispatcher on the dock snorted and drank when he saw Wu Bao'er, fiercely tight.

Wu Bao'er's face is already black, and this will be even darker. But he had no choice but to pull up the anchor and pull the sail out of the dock. Most of the people who were on the same boat with him were sea bandits who had originally taken refuge in the sailors of the 'revolutionary army', and they were all brave and ruthless. But this will look at the power of the 'revolutionary army', and everyone is in a bad mood

Originally, I thought that the 'revolutionary army' was a group of thieves entrenched in Yingkou, and sooner or later they would be destroyed by the imperial court, and if they could leave early, they would flee from the fire pit. Who would have thought that after the people laid Wanghai Fort, they would go all the way south and occupy the four guards of the peninsula in October, and the momentum would be great. The world is all looking sideways.

Although Zhou Qingfeng was wary of Wu Bao'er in every way, as long as he didn't leave, the position of the commander of the water division would not fall to Zhu Chengxiu, who was forcibly left behind. But now all assumptions are useless, and Wu Bao'er is now a cargo ship.

There is a shortage of coal in Siwei on the peninsula, and there is coal in the Longkou area of Dengzhou Prefecture just across the sea. Although it is lignite with relatively low calorific value, it is better than the distance and easy to mine, and the 'revolutionary army' is still willing to purchase it. After Wu Baoer returned to Dengzhou, he got a small cargo ship and did an ordinary transportation errand - the ship was not his, and the cargo was not his, so he earned a coolie money.

An ordinary small cargo ship of 100 materials can only transport a few tons of lignite at a time. After going back and forth for about two days, both the mine owner and the ship owner felt that it was still profitable and were very happy to do the business. Wu Baoer didn't want to do it, but if he didn't do this, he would have nothing else to do.

Now there are dozens of times more ships coming in and out of the direction of Lushun than in the past, and it is said that it is easy to make a business here without capital. However, the 'revolutionary army' occupied the peninsula and immediately carried out a law and order rectification of the area, killing many people. The bandits can't get along, and they can't survive without a port.

It's the same in Shandong. When the profits of the pirates were not much for trading, the local gentry did not care how bad the 'revolutionary army' was, they just had to make money. If anyone stops them from doing business - the gentry are all local snakes, and they can't deal with the wolf-like 'revolutionary army', but they can deal with the pirates.

Wu Bao'er returned from Lushun and arrived at Longkou Port half a day later. As soon as he came ashore, the proprietor paid him. It's only a few taels of silver in total, and it's really unpleasant to hold it in your hand.

"Take the money to the kiln to cool up, wait for the goods to be loaded overnight, and you will come again." The owner of the ship also deliberately patted Wu Bao'er on the shoulder, "You old fur seals have caught up with a good time." Nowadays, the old men of the 'revolutionary army' want everything, and it is refreshing to give money, and it is easy to make money. ”

"Loaded overnight?" Wu Bao'er thought to herself that this was much faster than in the past.

"Hey, the 'Revolutionary Army' has money, and it has taken our White Lotus Sect in Shandong again. People want coal from Longkou, so they have built a freight terminal here, and you can see that the cranes on this wharf are all the latest and specially designed for the shipment of bulk cargo. Several of our chambers of commerce even pooled money to build the road to the mine, and the big guys wanted to do a big job. It's just the beginning.

I'm going to buy a new boat next month, and if you have a brother who knows how to go to sea, even if you introduce me to me, the salary will definitely be indispensable. "The owner of the boat is generous, and it is really good to have five taels of silver for two days of boating." Nowadays, there are more and more people who rely on this coal mine for food, so do a good job. ”

A few taels of silver had to be shared with the brothers, and Wu Baoer didn't have a few dollars left in his hand. He will think of Zhu Chengxiu's flag of the commander of the Navy Division again, and the scene where the other party hugged each other with a large number of servants, and his heart was very sour and angry.

The people who ran to the sea couldn't keep the money in their hands, so Wu Bao'er took the silver and ran towards Longkou City. In the past two months, because the coal in Longkou is the closest to Lushun, there are many officials and gentry who have come to open the mine. Thousands of people poured in from the small dragon's mouth, and the market suddenly flourished. There are more than a dozen more in Willow Lane, Flower Street, in the city, Wu Bao'er looked at the one or two pieces of silver left in his hand, and decided to find a good one.

"Ouch, uncle, what you think is so beautiful. For a tael of silver, I will find our little peach to spend the night, and I will serve wine and good food casually, where did you get your face? The old bustard of the brothel grabbed a flower towel with a disgusted face, "Now our girls are all of the highest grade, at most one or two silver, let Mother Liu, who washes dishes in the kitchen, accompany you for one night." ”

The two sturdy thugs in the brothel both held iron rods and laughed, as if they were waiting for Wu Bao'er to stir up trouble. Wu Baoer immediately scolded: "Xiao Taohong also 'kissed' Lao Tzu to eat diao two days ago, why is the price going to increase in two days?" ”

"Poor ghost, don't come if you don't have money." The old bustard was too lazy to take care of Wu Bao'er, and directly asked his subordinates to blast him out. "It's just a sea runner, how about raising your price? If you want to play, you have to make enough money to come back. ”

Wu Baoer couldn't get angry, and changed a few more brothels. It turned out that because the coal in Longkou was sold, all the prostitutes here had increased their prices. He had no choice but to find an older person to serve him, and the wine was poor, not to mention any good dishes. He grabbed the woman to vent, and after lying down, he scolded: "What kind of world is this, sleeping with a woman is still so expensive?" ”

The old prostitute didn't dare to offend Wu Bao'er, so she sneered and beat his leg and said, "The master has probably just come back, and this place in Longkou has changed owners in the past two days." ”

"Whom?"

"Changed to the revolutionary army on the other side of the sea. It is said that the young marshal was looking for coal everywhere, and when he looked for it, he found that our coal in Longkou was good, and a group of people came two days ago and said that they wanted to carry out 'orderly development and expand production capacity' here. I've heard that, too, and I don't know what it means. Anyway, it's just to make everyone rich. ”

The old prostitute couldn't tell what was going on, but Wu Bao'er thought of Port Arthur, which was constantly expanding. That's really a sea of money and money, and you can earn whatever you want. He Wu Baoer can't earn it.

The old prostitute chatted and said: "The people of the 'revolutionary army' are also strange, if they want so much coal, they also need iron. It is said that the original people of the White Lotus Sect have changed their careers to become blacksmiths. ”

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, that's asking the people of the White Lotus Sect to open mines. Lao Tzu used to be a 'revolutionary army', but now he is in trouble. ”

"Oh, the old man laughed. In the past, as soon as the senior brother of the White Lotus Sect came out, who dared not to give face on the road. Now when I encounter something more ruthless, I will wilt immediately. Master, I'm not talking about you, who joins the 'revolutionary army' can still be in trouble now. You shouldn't have done it for the White Lotus Sect. ”

The old prostitute just laughed a few words, only thinking that Wu Baoer was bragging. But she said Wu Bao'er in a word, and the latter immediately kicked the old prostitute away in anger, and pulled the other party's hair to beat her violently.

The old prostitute could only howl and beg for mercy by the bedside, but after shouting for a few voices, she found that the fierce Wu Bao'er stopped beating and even stopped moving. When I looked up again, Wu Bao'er was sitting under the bed, staring blankly at the blood on her chest.

At a glance, the old prostitute was immediately frightened and stepped back, and saw that there were two more guys with sharp blades in her room. Without waiting for her to scream, she heard that these two people were looking at Wu Bao'er's face carefully.

One of them said in a deep voice: "It's Wu Bao'er, that's right, it's exactly the same as the portrait on the wanted notice." The young marshal named him to get rid of him, saying that he knew too many secrets of our internal system. ”

The other person was wiping a blood-dripping dagger, and sneered: "Report to Boss Wang of the Ministry of Security, we did a good job this time, and the target of tracking for two months has finally been cleared." I heard that this kid has a problem with his brain, and he originally had a great future, but now he died in the belly of an illegal prostitute. This is the end of not being able to see the general trend clearly! ”
